Stars: 2
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Who names
their kid "Myron Magnet" for God's sake? Alliteration like that either
condemns you to a life of James Bond villainy, exotic dancing, or
writing really dull books that probably nobody will
read. It appears he opted for the latter. From the jacket this looked to
be more of an examination of the homes of the various founders and
daily life of the period. Instead what you get is a series of
biographies - Hamilton is really freaking short, Jefferson's
even more so in proportion, and Washington's huge, of each one. Not much
on home life. And a few of the decisions - why make Jefferson's section
so small, why the grating bias against John Adams? - make little to no
sense.
